The hound of baskervilles will go down as perhaps the most popular one ever attributed to the legendary author, conan doyle! it is then perhaps ironic that this very tale has disputed his reputation as an original! According to some sources, the story had originally been the brain-child of fletcher robinson, himself an author of immense repute! And for once, sherlock holmes was supposed to play no role! But as it turned out, this one is perhaps Holmes’ most remembered adventure! And much as will be said, it will perhaps always remain disputed as to who deserves credit for this master-piece!
Speaking of the story itself, there seems to be a curse on the heirs of the house of baskerville, thanks to a supposedly supernatural hound! But Holmes , as always is on the prowl for better answers to justify the death of charles baskerville! And you can trust holmes to unravel the mysteries, through a series of engrossing developments!
And the truth is finally out adding another feather to Holmes’ cap!
It is then perhaps, a cruel joke, that the biggest mystery regarding holmes’ success in this story might forever be in shrouds!
